   It's great that you can turn all this off but why is it tucked away in Screen Time of all places?

   What's the thinking behind that?

      Seems like they think turning it off is only for kids’ devices. Perhaps they are missing the fact that many adults don’t want it either.

         I’m curious what “many” means across billions of people.

         Because I’d guess nearly everyone wants the new Siri to just be there and working.

            I’m not sure. If given the choice in isolation, perhaps most people would be happy to sign up for the new Siri. When it’s a trade-off that requires 25 GB of storage for Apple Intelligence and sticks various unhelpful buttons on the keyboard, maybe fewer people want it.

            And there is certainly also a contingent of young people (especially) who dislike generative AI on ideological/moral/environmental grounds. That group may be overrepresented online, but it does exist.
